The Scripture Readings
22
And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23
which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
1
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2
in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
3
among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
19
But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20
also added this, above all, that he shut John up in prison.
21
When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.
22
And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
